food doesn’ t mean long hours in the
kitchen or exotic ingredients. Good
recipes, using quality ingredients, arc
the key along w ith the creativity that
stamps each special dish w ith your
own signature. So enjoy the shortcuts
o f convenience products and make
your holiday a joyful experience for all.

HEALTHIER HOLIDAY EATING
& SNACKING
Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the
importance of changing their diets to eat foods that are
healthier. The focus of the nineties is to manage our
intake of fat by eating foods low or free of fat. One of the best products on
the market that does that is Borden’s Fat Free® Processed Cheese Product.
It is an extremely versatile product. You can
substitute Borden Fat Free® Processed Cheese
Product when a recipe calls for any other pro­
cessed cheese. It can also be used in the micro-
wave oven. Borden Fat Free® is lower in calories
than regular cheese singles, since it has only 30
calories per slice, 0 grams of fat, and most impor­
tantly tastes better than the leading fat free brand.
It comes in a wide variety of flavors; American, Cheddar, and Swiss. It is an
excellent tasting product used alone or in any of your favorite recipes.

Q. M y husband has taken to bak­
ing cookies, but they always seem to
be crum bly, yet greasy. What would
help? Mrs. V.G., Sidney, OH
A . There are several things he
can do that may help. Careful mea­
suring is important to good cookies.
Use nested-dry measuring cups for
flour, sugar, raisins and nuts. When
measuring flour, spoon flo u r into
measuring cup and level w ith a
straight-edged spatula, use a glass
measuring cup for liquids and check
measurement at eye level.
In small bowl, combine chicken, apple, green pepper, celery, onion
and dressing; mix well. Cover; chill to blend flavors. Just before
serving, add Borden® Fat Free pieces. Serve on lettuce; garnish with
apple if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
